I am/have almost finished
Message de lolilola posté le 28-01-2012 à 07:45:44 (S | E | F)
Bonjour,

Could you help me please?
I wonder what the difference is between these 2 sentences is :

I am almost finished / I have almost finished
I've never heard before" I have almost finished" .

Thank you for your answers

Bonjour,
les deux existent:
I have almost finished (this book): j'ai presque terminé ce livre.
I am almost finished: je suis presque au bout, me paraît moins soutenu mais existe.
I am through: dictionnaire en ligne:
1.(familier)(finished) fini;
are you ~ with the paper? as-tu fini de lire le journal?;

le lien de headway suivant est très clair.

Hello,
Thank you for the explanation and the interesting link.Now I have my answer and "have you finished" doesn't seem so weird to hear or read after all.
Now, I will seem more polite to my Aussie customers when they pay a visit to New-Caledonia
"-have you finished?" instead of "are you finished ?" when I want to take their empty plates off the table.

THank you
